Personally I do not understand most people not wanting replay in baseball. The game has changed from what it was in the so called "glory days" so IMO it's time to add IR to baseball.
IMO, it will not add time because the umpires already huddle and discuss.

Since, its been implied by a certain poster that I'm in some "new guard", I'll post my 2-cents:
I'm in favor of replay in some form for plays that don't require the umpires to have ask one another in their huddle, "now that we reversed the call...what would have happened had we called it right originally?"
For example: It is very easy to change a "fair" call to "foul" after the play is over if one is using replay. Just put all the runners on their TOP base and the batter back at-bat with a "strike" added to his count.
However, if the umpires were to change a "foul" call (hit down the line (but NOT over the outfield fence) ) to "fair" via replay...they now have to play GOD to determine "what would've happened". That, IMO, should not be allowed under a replay system.
